| Abstract | The Spanish influenza holds lessons for us in the present. First, infectious diseases may come in more than one wave. The Spanish influenza had a tendency of reappearing and came in three waves. Second, the Spanish influenza became more rampant and more dangerous because people refused to stop working when they felt unwell, or they forced other people to do so. Third, during the Spanish influenza, governments at war restricted the flow of information and the mass media went along with them. All the lessons applied to Japan. In Japan at that time, the Spanish influenza was told to kill about 400 thousand. Moreover, it caused more serious damage in the Japanese colonies such as Karafuto, Taiwan islands and Korean Peninsula than in the Japanese mainland. This pandemic clarified the discriminatory structure constructed before it. I think this phenomenon is similar to that of COVID-19 today.In this speech, I will talk about global and Japanese history of the Spanish Influenza to know what happened in this time in Japan. I hope the historical approach will help all of you to understand what kind of crisis the COVID-19 pandemic is. |
